1966-1967 Chevelle Door Lock Cylinder Pawl (RH)
The 1966-1967 Chevelle Door Lock Cylinder Pawl (Right Hand) is a factory-correct mechanical restoration component engineered for the passenger side of your first-generation classic. The pawl is the specialized stamped metal lever bracket that mounts directly onto the tail of the exterior door lock cylinder. When you turn your key from the outside, this lever physically rotates to trip the internal rods and linkages of your door latch mechanism, safely locking or unlocking the vehicle. Because these tiny brackets are easily bent, stripped, or lost during vehicle teardowns, body block sanding, or media blasting, replacing them ensures crisp, reliable security.
